"Preparation and curing kinetics of “bottlebrush-like structure” green bio-based ultra-low-temperature polyfarnesene nanocomposites" by WU Ming-li, LI Yong-xu, CAO Lan?鄢

“…As a versatile monomer, trans-β-farnesene had a special structure of long side chain monosubstitution, which could be genetically edited from the source to form a “bottlebrush-like” polymer with a regular structure. 　In this work, hydroxyl-terminated polyfarnesene (HTPF) was synthesized by free-radical solution polymerization, and enhanced HTPF-based polyurethane elastomers (HTPF-PU) was prepared using HTPF as soft segment and functionalized graphene oxide (GO) modified with isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) as functional filler by one-step process for the first time, which allowed the isocyanate groups on modified graphene oxide (iGO) and the hydroxyl groups in HTPF to form covalent bonds to prepare nanocomposites with a strong interfacial bonding effect, as shown in Fig 1. …”

Novel kernel function for computing the similarity of text by Xiu-hong WANG, Shi-guang JU

“…To enhance the performance of detecting similar documents,a novel kernel function named S_Wang kernel was constructed.Based on the actual situation of computing text similarity,the S_Wang kernel was newly bu lt with consideration of the Euclidean distance and angle between vectors that represented the text documents to be compared.It was proved that the function could be constructed as a kernel function according to Mercer theorem.Experimental verification of the performance of the kernels in the text document similarity calculation was provided.The results show that the S_Wang kernel is significantly better than the precision and F1 performance of other kernels like Cauchy kernel,Latent Semantic Kernel (LSK) and CLA kernel.S_Wang kernel is suitable for text similarity computation.…”
